Tenure Questionnaire
Eligibility
Tenure is awarded based on merit and value for UToledo and COMLS. Tenure may be awarded to full-time faculty members at the levels of Associate Professor or Professor and is conferred by the UToledo Board of Trustees. Tenure applications are reviewed by the APT committee independently from promotion applications if both requests are submitted at the same time. Tenure decisions are postponed in the setting of a new faculty appointment, where some UToledo experience is advisable, unless the new faculty fulfills the requirements described in the “Expedited Tenure Review” policy (#3364-72-15).
